The fact that DA let the local press know they tried to extend Rondo but were "unable" to do so "at this time" is troubling if you are a Rondo fan....I think this is similar to the Red Sox way of slowly building the idea that a favorite is up for grabs so fans won't be taken by surprise if they pull the trigger on the trade and also look like they're the bad guys...DA is setting the table for a move or at least opening up a plausible explanation if it happens...

Just like he did with Perkins! "We tried" so all the Rondo lovers are warned.... That is Danny's MO and history seems to repeat itself.
